George Stanfield Walters (1838–1924) was an English marine and landscape painter. Born in Liverpool, he belonged to a family of artists specialising in shipping: his father, Samuel Walters, was a marine painter, as was his grandfather Miles Walters. George learnt from his father and developed a particular interest in harbours, fishing boats and coastal light.
He moved to London around 1864 and exhibited extensively at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists and provincial galleries. His subjects ranged from the Thames and the English Channel to the Lake District, Wales and the Venetian lagoon.
Fishing Boats on the Lagoon, Venice reflects his interest in working vessels and the changing conditions of sea and sky. Walters often used warm evening tones and carefully arranged boats to give his marine pictures both atmosphere and a clear sense of place.
He was elected to the Society of British Artists in 1897 and continued to exhibit into the twentieth century. Walters died in 1924.

Glasgow and the Mackintosh Style
We recently took ourselves off to Scotland, and on our travels, we popped into the Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow for a bit of a nose around and a spot of lunch.
